Chris Martin has spoken about his split from Gwyneth Paltrow, calling music a "life-saver."

In a blog post earlier this year, Paltrow revealed that she and Martin were "consciously uncoupling" after nearly ten years of marriage.

Speaking on Steve Wright's Big Show on Radio 2, the Coldplay frontman described music as "a life-saver" after their split and said that he channelled his "bad feeling" into writing songs for their new album Ghost Stories.

He added: "You can choose your paths in life, I find, when you get to a point where you're like, 'I could either jump off a bridge or I could try and turn this around.' I'm sure lots of people have that in much harder instances. You just find the right tools.

"I feel so grateful. Especially over the last couple of years, music has been alchemising.

"Going through something difficult in your life, music for me is always a friend and something that helps you to figure things out. That's always what I'm doing in the middle of the night. I'm very grateful to be here. Every day is a blessing. That's how I feel."

Martin also spoke about giving up vegetarianism since splitting from the Shakespeare in Love actress.

"I'd only eat something that I think I could kill," he said. "I'd kill a fish. Not a giraffe."
